Assigning Queue Operator Flags

By selecting the "Details" page from the "Print Queue" object dialogue, a print queue operator with appropriate rights can set flags that limit access to the selected print queue:

  • "Allow Users To Submit Print Jobs" allows queue users to submit print jobs to the queue if the option is set to Yes.

  • "Allow Service By Current Print Servers" allows assigned print servers to service print jobs in the queue if the option is set to Yes.

  • "Allow New Print Servers To Attach" allows print servers to attach to the queue if the option is set to Yes.

Viewing or Modifying Print Jobs

Use the following steps to view or modify print jobs.

Procedure

  1. From the browser, select a print queue object.

    The "Print Queue" object dialog appears.

  2. Select "Job List."

    A list of print jobs in the print queue appears.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To view information about a print job, select it. Then see the next section.

    • To h old a print job in the queue without printing it, highlight it and select "Hold."

    • To activate a print job currently on "Hold" status in the queue so that it can be printed, highlight it and select "Resume."

    • To delete a print job, highlight it and select "Delete."

      NOTE: Most applications can send print jobs to a network printer or print queue. This is usually the easiest way to create print jobs with the correct format for your printer, etc. If your application can print only to a local port, use the NetWare User Tools to redirect your workstation port to the network. See NetWare Client for DOS and MS Windows User Guide.
